When a friend told Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank that "you've just been hit in the ass by a golden horseshoe," they thought he was crazy. After all, both had just been fired. What the friend, Ken Langone, meant was that they now had the opportunity to create the kind of wide-open warehouse store that would help spark a consumer revolution through low prices, excellent customer service, and wide availability of products.

Built from Scratch is the story of how two incredibly determined and creative people - and their associates - built a business from nothing to 761 stores and $30 billion in sales in a mere 20 years.

Built from Scratch tells many colorful stories associated with The Home Depot's founding and meteoric rise; shows that a company can be a tough, growth-oriented competitor, and still maintain a high sense of responsibility to the community; and provides great lessons useful to people in any business, from start-ups to the Fortune 500.

Am an employee of THD, and found it interesting and relevant. Definitely more entertaining than expected. I can understand why it might be unappealing to someone with no interest in Home Depot, business strategy, or autobiography works.

the stories are inspiring and educative. Emphasis on customer service is a must for any business who wants to succeed.

Couldn't finish the book. Gloating for hours. Theres probably 10 minutes of interesting facts and outlook to learn from.

The first section has some good history, but the remaining 80% is such a frustrating read. There is zero organization; its all gloating about Home Depots success and how they're different.

So much Koolaid
